I used to dream about discovering Incan gold when I was a little kid… and then I took an archaeology class during high school and realized there was NO WAY I had the patience to slowly scrape dirt away and meticulously record where it came from. In six weeks of excavating, I also found nothing, and suffered from a lot of poison ivy.
But filming archaeologists is pretty fun, and they seem to enjoy what they’re doing… especially when they’re actually finding interesting Cherokee artifacts! Click the photo below to hear about the major dig site of the summer!

I love the Cool Digs video. We are so lucky that sites like this are being found before the roads are widened and the artifacts could be lost forever. And getting the high school kids involved is great, it shows fantastic community interest!
